Function and Form
on December 2, 2021

I've owned Aer travel pack, trakke classic, and several other bags, but none really comes close to the overall feature set, performance, and aesthetics as Everyday bag has.
Modularity is important when you want a bag that you can hike, commute, or travel with. The straps on the bag allow you to carry voluminous objects easily, and the dividers help you stay organized in all sorts of ways. Side opening makes everything so easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent quality but didn't work out for me
on December 2, 2021

I really wanted to love this backpack. The quality is obvious. It feels solid, the materials are high quality and it's put together very well. The customization is what I was looking for so I could arrange things how I want. I had the 20L, which is the perfect size. It fits nicely on your back and is very comfortable to wear. There are a ton of little features and pockets which is very cool. In addition, it's not bulky at all. In fact it is nice and sleek so you won't be bumping into things all the time.
BUT, I just couldn't make it work in a way that I felt confident that my camera gear was secure and well protected. The foldable dividers didn't stay in place very well (I mean the folding parts - the velcro itself is very strong).
I spent an obscene amount of time trying different configurations. But the result was always the same. My lenses and gear were kind of flopping around inside. I like my stuff (especially Camera body and lenses) to be nice and snug in their place, with some decent protection around them. I am very gentle with my gear, so I'm not tossing this bag around. But even just walking you could feel stuff moving around inside.
In the end, I ended up returning the bag, much to my disappointment. The divider system is a nice idea, but I needed something that allows me to put my stuff inside and not have to think about its health and well-being.
I can imagine that for non-photography or non-delicate/expensive gear, this bag is awesome. And indeed it is. But for camera gear, protection is the top priority. Maybe someone could make it work better, but I just didn't get there. Given the high quality and innovative design, it's probably worth a try to see if you can make it work for your needs.

Good backpack that could have been great

I bought the everyday backpack v2 a few months ago and have used it extensively. This backpack is really well designed but falls short (in my opinion) in three areas:
1. The straps are too thin and you can feel the weight of the items you are carrying after a few hours of use.
2. The design of sternum strap leaves a lot to be desired as it is dry fiddly to use.
3. The design of the internal dividers is very innovative but I believe the PD engineers should have designed them to be stiffer and more able to stand up and take the weight of the gear stowed when folded up. I do not feel very confident that my expensive camera gear is entirely protected when in transit. Incorporating these dividers into the camera cubes and making the cubes compatible with the Everyday Backpack as a self contained more protective solution is a much better idea.

Practical and fashionable

from Cologne, Germany
I got my backpack three years ago. The quality is just amazing, it looks so good and is so clever to use and practical. Believe it or not, I am from Germany and visiting some trade shows, especially gaming like devcom and gamescom. Not that people asked my about my great everyday backpack, I even made friends, because they used it too and they always have their backpacks with them. When you got once one of them, you won’t use another backpack for the rest of your life! Being a mom now, it comes in handy for babystuff aswell and is so great to organize! Thank you, for the great design, amazing features and the absolutely amazing quality. (Thank you Adam Hicks, for bringing this great company into my life ;P , guys why no emojis?!:D)

best camera/commute backpack ever
on February 11, 2022
Posted by: kraszyniak
from Gdansk, Poland
My 30-liter version suits in every situation. Various trips, commute, work, with camera or not. It's so well thought and integrated to the PD ecosystem! It's super comfortable no matter how much stuff you fit inside. For extra stability on the back there's the chest strap. Never needed the hip strap.
I would recommend this to a friend!
